This morning Greenpeace activists unfurled a huge banner from the flag poles in front of the iconic Ontario Power Generation (OPG) building near Queen’s Park in Toronto. They did this to send a message to Ontario Premier McGuinty and Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak: we don’t want any more mistaken spending on their nuclear plans. The banner reads: “Hudak/McGuinty: Stop Darlington, Protect Consumers.

“Help us call on these leaders to adopt electricity plans that would protect consumers from more nuclear cost over-runs. Both Hudak and McGuinty support spending $36 billion dollars on nuclear reactors at the Darlington station. This would add substantially to nuclear debt and undermine their claims they are concerned about rising electricity bills.

Dozens of Greenpeace activists are supporting the action this morning. They have dumped a hundred money bags filled with $36 billion dollar bills to dramatize the costs of the nuclear mistake Hudak and McGuinty are ready to make. They have set up a 12-foot radioactive waste barrel, symbolizing the significant but undocumented costs of long-term storage of nuclear waste which will add further to the high costs of nuclear electricity.

We are asking for your help to Stop Darlington. Join in the fight for green energy. Spending billions on nuclear will block the development of green energy in Ontario.

First they came…

First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.
